Sparky Bag

One of our best selling daypacks, the Sparky Bag was designed to be the most versatile bag you own. It works great as an everyday work or school bag, but is equally at home while snowshoeing fresh powder or traversing rocky shorelines.

Used my Sparky bag to lug many shelves worth of books and manuals from one office to another over the period of several weeks. The heavy duty design held considerable weight. (More than I ever thought.) The Sparky Bag showed no sign of stress at the seams nor at the rivets. I would not have attempted the same with any other competitors backpack. Quality is a Duluth Pack feature!Review by Sparkyfan(Posted on 11/18/2016)

True Story

Rating

I've reviewed this product positively before but I wanted to add this story. Recently I went to a very well respected(read expensive) tailor for the first time. I'm kind of embarrassed because I coming in with a used jacket. Pretty sure it is not the level he is used to. Jacket is rolled up in the Sparky bag which I flop on the counter. Tailor looks down and does a double take. Starts to examine the Sparky's shoulder straps. "Very strong. Good stitching." He is really impressed with construction and genuinely surprised. Nice job Duluth Pack.Review by Peter(Posted on 10/12/2015)

Great Product

Rating

I have had this bag for about six months. Waited to write review until I had taken it on a serious hike. I have used as a carry-on, brief case day bag and on a day hike. As with all Duluth products it is simple and extremely well made. I will wear out before it does. Fits my medium frame well although might be too big for a small person. Side pouches can easily hold a one liter water bottle or my reading galsses and cell phone. Main area can hold all you need for a day hike or over night. I have also carried my ski boots in it. Just had bag on a day hike that included long climb and rock scrambles. Bag was solid and stable through all. Would recommend for school, city, or woodland day hikes. Probably not the best for technical stuff like back country skiing or very hot weather. Review by Peter(Posted on 8/22/2012)

Indestructable

I bought the Sparky in waxed and have dragged it through the rain, steams, mud, snow and baking sun for the past two years. I use this pack daily for everything from kayaking, carry on, hiking, lunch bag, and baseball gear bag. My Sparky looks as good as the day I got it in the mail.This thing is built tough and rugged. I'll keep on abusing it and when it does fail I'll definately send it back in for repairs and order another new one for a back-up at that time!Review by Arrowit(Posted on 2/7/2012)

I bought this pack in 1994 at the Canal Park store in Duluth,MN. It has been my constant companion - on hiking trails, campsites, fishing excursions and business trips.
It gets better with age and experience.

It's a TANK!

This bag is very comfortable, classy, and tough. I use it for all kinds of things, it's especially good for collecting rocks and boulders on the beach, bushwacking through brush, and other pack-destructive activities. I don't think it will ever wear out, and the padded shoulder straps are extremely comfortable. It's great!Review by Winterlover(Posted on 10/6/2011)

Fantastic pack, well worth the price

My father originally bought this pack for day hikes; I now use it for college. Durable, roomy and just about indestructible, the Sparky bag is a wise investment. The size belies what the pack can really hold- I have to carry around a lot of adaptive equipment and I haven't had the need for a second bag.Review by Catie(Posted on 8/21/2011)

Worth weight in gold to daughter in college/grad school

Rating

Bought daughter a Sparky Bag in Duluth when she was going into her freshman year at College of St Benedict - she used it daily for 4 years - had it embroidered with name and college (actually, picture on Sparkey bag part of webpage is her using it in Rome/Study abroad). Now is going off to Vermont to Grad School - will have it embroidered again with different school name - she'll use it daily there too. Not one problem with the product. As good as my two old #4 bags that have been to Quetico a dozen times. Nice people in the store too. I'll buy another one for the boy when he graduates high school soon.Review by Peterson(Posted on 6/9/2011)
